> > What I'm saying is that there seems to be a double standard here. Tom's criticised for not reaching out to others, but others aren't being likewise blamed for not reaching out to him.
> Normally in society many people won't try to make friends with one. It's up to the one to make friends with the many.

But in society everybody is "the one". The many are made up of ones.

> Though also Tom hasn't met any of the people who are naturally friendly.

Asil seemed naturally friendly. And I think he's met Vizh and Glory.

> > [On exiting an airoplane by stealth] That's the kind of thing a fantasy combat/stealth type might do, but not the kind of thing a reader would buy for a "normal" person to pull off. Airports take their security very seriously. And don't forget that Tom was being followed by at least three on-flight agents, even if one of them was drugged and two were stuck in second class.
> I bet those orbs Tom has might allow him to leave the plane even while it's in midair.

How? They're intangible semi-sentient spheres that can possess magic or technology. They don't let him fly, protect him from sub-zero temperatures, make him invisible, or allow him to teleport.

> Other than that, though, planes are big places. While most people don't realize it, someone like Chiaki makes a business of knowing that, and also knowing police strategies.
> She knows if she goes to the bathroom just before landing and doesn't come back, two things could occur: 1) She could escape through panels in the floor or ceiling without being detected (being small helps a lot with that), and 2) By the time the marshalls realize it the plane will be landing and they'd have to wait in their seats for safety - cutting their search time drastically.

That's Keiko, whose whole shtick is about being a stealthy ninja type. My question was how could Tom have escaped the aircraft when it landed at Heathrow given his resources.
